TODAY’S CREATIVE LOVING PROFILE
When songwriter and musician Scott Cook decided to open a retail store it wasn't hard to find a focus. He saw the tough times musicians were facing in the down economy and wanted to provided them a source for some affordable instruments. That's why the Sarasota Guitar Company, Sarasota's first musician-owned, musician-run guitar store, is opening Saturday. The store features a broad line of B-Stock and pre-owned guitars at starving artist-friendly prices. An authorized dealer of Dean, Washburn and Parker, they also offer brands such as Fender, Martin, Taylor, Takamine, Kramer and Jackson under their Certified Guitar Program, which means they're guaranteed to be good as new. Grand opening 11:30 a.m.-4 p.m. Sat., Dec. 5, Sarasota Guitar Company, 4333 S. Tamiami Trail, Suite A, Sarasota, 924-8321, free.
